OLD AND NEW CAUSES OF A SECOND WORLD WAR
- China ^^ = fear from Japanese that they would lose Manchuria
- Hitler and Mussolini interfered in Spanish Civil War - mid 1930s ; Franco refused to help in global war that broke out afterward
UNCHECKING AGGRESSION AND THE COMING OF WAR IN EUROPE AND THE PACIFIC
- WWII = caused by deliberate aggravations by Nazi Germany and Imperialistic Japan
- Japan initiated WWII by attacking China
- China and Japan = deadly war throughout duration of war to gain control of Eastern Asia
- Soviet Union = invaded, taken over through pact
THE CONDUCT OF A SECOND GLOBAL WAR
- blitzkreig - German strategy where concept = to take down enemy country with lightning speed by a combo of tanks and troop carriers, infantry, + supporting fighter aircraft and war bombers
- France = taken over because of weak republic by the disasters of the 1930s
- Britain = survived German occupation but most of soldiers = deployed and British cities/towns = under constant attack by German planes
- Vichy = capital of Nazi puppet regime in which most of central and southern France = taken over
- Battle of Britain - smaller British force = able to win Nazi air attack, because of strong leadership
HITLER'S WAR AGAINST THE JEWS
- as war turned against Nazis, the war against the Jews = more intense
- Battle of Bulge - Allies invaded Germany from the west (1944-1945)
- Battle of Coral Sea; Japanese stand off with United States
- Midway Island = won by Japs, by Admiral Yamamoto
WAR'S END AND THE EMERGENCE OF THE SUPERPOWER STANDOFF
- United Nations = est.
- Tehran Conference = allies agreed on invasion of Nazi occupied France, gave Soviets a chance to push back Nazis

- Potsdam
